consider_v this_o as_o a_o truth_n that_o although_o among_o great_a person_n there_o may_v be_v find_v some_o who_o inclination_n and_o conduct_v answer_v exact_o to_o their_o character_n the_o number_n be_v infinite_o the_o great_a that_o derogate_v from_o it_o remember_v that_o they_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n like_o the_o tree_n in_o forest_n which_o sometime_o yield_v shade_n but_o

be_v nothing_o but_o dust_n and_o rottenness_n almost_o all_o the_o great_a one_o entice_v we_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n oblige_v and_o gain_v we_o with_o large_a promise_n and_o by_o a_o excess_n of_o civility_n whereby_o we_o be_v too_o often_o catch_v and_o never_o undeceive_v till_o a_o unhappy_a experience_n in_o our_o necessity_n convince_v we_o how_o little_a reason_n we_o have_v to_o rely_v upon_o the_o hope_n or_o expectation_n of_o what_o they_o promise_v beside_o if_o you_o shall_v be_v so_o fortunate_a as_o to_o be_v favour_v by_o some_o great_a person_n which_o will_v scarce_o happen_v unless_o his_o own_o interest_n force_v he_o to_o it_o in_o a_o small_a time_n you_o will_v begin_v to_o perceive_v that_o his_o friendship_n have_v not_o only_o the_o false_a

i_o make_v no_o address_n to_o great_a person_n or_o so_o much_o as_o come_v at_o they_o unless_o you_o be_v oblige_v to_o it_o by_o a_o duty_n not_o to_o be_v dispense_v with_o behave_v yourself_o

of_o any_o one_o especial_o in_o his_o absence_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o unworthy_a of_o a_o man_n of_o honour_n and_o you_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o live_v in_o peace_n with_o other_o which_o be_v the_o chief_a end_n of_o society_n that_o of_o necessity_n you_o will_v be_v at_o odds_o with_o all_o if_o you_o have_v private_o perceive_v the_o vicious_a inclination_n of_o any_o

most_o considerable_a service_n that_o we_o can_v render_v to_o a_o neighbour_n be_v to_o make_v he_o perceive_v the_o error_n of_o his_o conduct_n and_o to_o do_v this_o successful_o so_o that_o he_o may_v see_v it_o be_v the_o advice_n of_o a_o friend_n let_v prudence_n guide_v you_o lest_o he_o disdain_v your_o counsel_n instead_o of_o profit_v thereby_o you_o will_v become_v ridiculous_a if_o
